Journal nizo's Journal: Whew that was close 12
The tooth fairy almost forgot to visit; I am thinking the youngest would have really been bummed if she wasn't able to participate in the teeth for cash program. This is only the second time she has participated, but I think she was pretty excited about it the first time.

That sounds sweet! Congrats on the save!
But it left me wondering...what would happen if the tooth faerie went on strike? What would be the fallout, i.e., who would be affected by the sudden shortage of baby teeth on the "supply" end? And just what *is* it that they do with all those teeth?
I smell the makings of a fun children's story...

I thought everyone knew that she gives them to Santa, who clones the kids from the teeth and uses them as slaves in his workshop.

So my question is, what's the going rate on teeth now-a-days? Not too long ago it used to be a 1/4.

Going rate is a full buck around here.

Yeah, she gets $1/ tooth. It gives her a little bit of extra incentive to get the teeth out (instead of letting them stay in and make the teeth coming in crooked) so I figure it is worth it.

Plus a very steep interest rate. The Tooth Fairy is a loan shark!

I don't know how good that would be since everyone knows that sharks are always losing their teeth.

Probably worth less than cash, but they have cool pictures on them.
